  Recasting AIAs

  Starting with Recast v0.2.0, you get the ability to recast your AIA files as well. This reduces the manual work of
  re-importing every recasted extension in your project.

  1. Navigate to the directory/folder where your AIA is placed.
  2. Open your favorite terminal in that directory.
  3. Now, run the following:

     recast --input you_app.aia
     

     (Here, you_app.aia is the name of your AIA file)
  4. And there you go! All the extensions in your AIA are now recasted, and the new AIA can be found in the same directory with
     name your_app_x.aia .

  Note:
  When you import a recasted AIA in Kodular (or AI2), your existing project isn’t affected. Instead, a separate project with name your_app_x is created with all the existing work preserved.

• Recast now prints a more understandable message if recasting the given extension/AIA is not required.
